ACTIVE DETROIT FIRM
ADDS GEO. P. BENT LINE
Artonion Music Company, Talking on the
Louisville Line of Pianos Sees Possibilities
of Increasing Fall Trade.
The Artonion Music Co.. Detroit,, Mich., announces
that it has tasen over the agency in that city for the
Geo. P. Bent Co.'s instruments, manufactured by the
Geo. P. Bent Co., Louisville, Ky.
Dan Pagenta, wholesale representative in the Chi-
cago territory of the Geo. P. Bent Co., 400 South
State street, recently returned from Detroit where he
visited the Artonion Music Co., where he learned that
trade was in excellent shape. The addition of the
Crown pianos, and other instruments of the Geo. P.
Bent Co. line will strengthen the fall trade in the
fact that they are extremely popular with the better
class of music lovers, is the belief expressed by the
Detroit firm.
After calling on active music merchants in the
middle west Mr. Pagenta expressed his opinion that
the possibilities of the Crown instruments are good
and he was especially pleased to note the favor being
shown the five foot three Crown Grand and the
four foot four in upright in styles 71 and 73. These
instruments have been strong sellers which is attrib-
uted to their fine tone and construction.

NAME OF OLD WEST
VIRGINIA FIRM CHANGED
Hill Piano Company, Huntington, Becomes Miller's
Music Store and Moves to New Quarters.
After operating his music store in Huntington, W.
Va., for more than seven years under the name of
the Hill Piano Company, C. V. Miller has secured a
ten-year leare on-a first floor location in the Vinson
building, 810 Fourth avenue, and has reopened under
the name of Miller's Music store, it was announced
last we,ek. "
, The.firm is now well established in its new location
and music lovers of the city find it a most modern
and attractive music store, dealing exclusively in
quality instruments and musical supplies and with the
slogan, "Help Make Huntington Musical" as its
motto.
The store opened with all new stock, the instru-
ments being of the very latest styles. The salesroom
is spacious and attractively decorated. There are
three attractively furnished booths for demonstration
purposes in addition to a rest room for patrons.
"The aim of our store is to sell music lovers the
best instrument available at standard prices," Mr.
Miller stated, explaining the firm employed no out-
side salesman, paid no commissions and offered the
leading lines of stocks at standard prices.
SCHAEFFER DARLING
MODEL WINS APPROVAL
Liberal Orders for This Small Piano Indicates
That Dealers Find Greater Opportunities
in This Interesting Field.
The "Darling Model," one of the wide line manu-
factured by the Schaeffer Piano Mfg. Co., 209 South
State street, Chicago, has met with instant favor in
the trade and orders of liberal size are arriving with
greater frequency than anticipated by the company.
Wholesale travelers of the Schaeffer company who
recently reported to the Chicago headquarters are
enthusiastic over the fine possibilities of the little
piano.
The demand for the tiny Schaeffer model is attrib-
uted to its unusual volume of tone which ordinarily
is not found in pianos of its size. Its tone is suffi-
ciently strong for the large auditoriums and halls of
schools in which it is almost a necessity. Other fea-
tures characterize the "Darling Model," one of the
most prominent being its excellent construction,
which makes it a very practical piano in the fact that
it can be moved around with ease and without fear
of injury.
The success of the small piano rests in its dura-
bility and tone and those two qualities have been the
paramount object of the Schaeffer company in the
production of the "Darling Model."

GEORGE P. BENT RETURNS.
After several weeks in the East, Geo. P. Bent,
ex-Crown maker, fast traveler, author and ready
speaker, arrived in Chicago from New York on Tues-
day. He is, so report goes, at work on a new book
and will return to Los Angeles within two weeks. It
is regrettable that Mr. Bent's search for "Mike, the
Mover," in the jungles of New York, was fruitless,
though Ben Janssen, the "poet lariat of the trade,"
suggested that he is hiding in a trade paper office—
which no one can believe.
TEXAS FIRM MOVES.
The Westlaco Music Store, Westlaco, Tex., has
been moved to new quarters, where larger space for
showing the pianos is available. The owners are
Carl W. Moeller and Ray Hartness. The former
manages the piano department and the latter the
phonograph and radio sections.
FOR TWO WEEKS' REST.
A. G. Gulbransen, president of the Gulbransen Com-
pany, and C. Gulbransen, vice-president and factory
superintendent, left Chicago Monday night to spend
a couple of eweks at Excelsior Springs, Missouri.
